At first, the synthetic portion 114 of image first measured value (efficient threshold value) that will receive compares (S101) with second measured value (regeneration amount).
Then, under the situation of " first measured value>second measured value " (being Yes among the S101), the synthetic portion 114 of image carries out the processing of following step S102~S105.
In step S102, the first primary image IM1 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, generates the image I M1 ' of first.Specifically, the synthetic portion 114 of image is shown in Fig. 5 (1), in the first primary image IM1, specify be removed more than or equal to the suitable zone of the part of the first measured value m1 after the zone (below, be also referred to as " not needing the zone "), be set at 0% by the opacity that this is not needed the zone, make it become the state that sees through.Thus, keep the state that does not see through greater than the image I M1 ' of the part of first measured value and keep.
In addition, if the image coordinate that increases from the top down with coordinate figure shows, then the synthetic portion 114 of image make upper end h1 from the first primary image IM1 (=Hw-H1) image in the scope keeps the state that do not see through, the zone beyond it is set at see through.
In step S103, the second primary image IM2 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, generates second portion image I M2 '.Specifically, shown in Fig. 5 (2), the synthetic portion 114 of image will not need the zone with being appointed as smaller or equal to the suitable zone of the part of the second measured value m2 from the second primary image IM2, and will the zone suitable with the part that surpasses the first measured value m1 be appointed as yet and not need the zone.Then, be set at 0%, make it become the state that sees through by the opacity that these is not needed the zone.Thus, surpassing image I M2 ' in the following scope of the second measured value m2 and the first measured value m1 keeps the state that does not see through and keeps.
In addition, if the image coordinate that increases from the top down with coordinate figure shows, then the synthetic portion 114 of image make from the upper end of the second primary image IM2 more than or equal to h1 (=Hw-H1), less than h2 (=Hw-H2) image of scope keeps not seeing through state, in addition zone is set at see through.
In step S104, shown in Fig. 5 (3), the 4th primary image IM4 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, and itself and the image I M1 ' of first, second portion image I M2 ' combination is overlapping, generates combination image IM4 '.
In addition, the synthetic portion 114 of image comprises CPU, has the graphic chips (graphic chip) of the function described, temporarily stores the VRAM of a plurality of frames etc., based on the control of CPU, by graphic chips combination image IM4 ' is depicted on the VRAM as a frame.
In addition, as mentioned above, predesignate the priority when overlapping in each primary image, when overlapping a plurality of primary image, the image that priority is high is shown.Therefore, in primary image IM2, can not implement to be appointed as with the zone suitable above the part of the first measured value m1 does not need the zone and makes this not need the zone to become transparent treated yet, and only will be set at transparently smaller or equal to the suitable zone of the part of the second measured value m2, generate second portion image I M2 '.
In step S105, shown in Fig. 5 (4), the synthetic portion 114 of image synthesizes by upward making up overlapping the 5th primary image IM5 and the 8th primary image IM8 at combination image IM4 ', generates meter diagram as IM10 on same frame.In addition, the synthetic portion 114 of image with the corresponding position of first measured value on, the 5th primary image IM5 of overlapping top graph picture as article one line chart.In addition, with the corresponding position of second measured value on, the 8th primary image IM8 of overlapping top graph picture as the second line chart.Then, transfer to step S106.
On the other hand, (be No among the S101) under the situation that is not " first measured value>second measured value ", the synthetic portion 114 of image carries out the processing of following step S112~S115.
In step S112, the first primary image IM1 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, generates the image I M1 ' of first.Specifically, shown in Fig. 6 (1), the synthetic portion 114 of image is in the first primary image IM1, specify be removed more than or equal to the suitable zone of the part of the second measured value m2 after the zone (below, be also referred to as " not needing the zone "), be set at 0% by the opacity that this is not needed the zone, make it become the state that sees through.
Thus, the image I M1 ' greater than the part of second measured value keeps not seeing through state and keeping.
In addition, if the image coordinate that increases from the top down with coordinate figure shows, then the synthetic portion 114 of image make upper end h2 from the first primary image IM1 (=Hw-H2) image in the scope keeps the state that do not see through, in addition zone is set at see through.
In step S113, the 3rd primary image IM3 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, generates third part image I M3 '.Specifically, shown in Fig. 6 (2), the synthetic portion 114 of image will not need the zone with being appointed as smaller or equal to the image in the suitable zone of the part of the first measured value m1 from the 3rd primary image IM3, and will the zone suitable with the part that surpasses the second measured value m2 be appointed as yet and not need the zone.Then, be set at 0%, make it become the state that sees through by the opacity that these is not needed the zone.Thus, surpass the first measured value m1 and keep the state that does not see through and keep smaller or equal to the image I M3 ' of the part of the second measured value m2.
In addition, if the image coordinate that increases from the top down with coordinate figure shows, then the synthetic portion 114 of image make from the upper end of the second primary image IM2 more than or equal to h2 (=Hw-H2), (image of=Hw-H1) scope keeps the state that do not see through, in addition zone is set at see through less than h1.
In step S114, shown in Fig. 6 (3), the 4th primary image IM4 is read in from primary image DB220 in the synthetic portion 114 of image, and itself and the image I M1 ' of first, second portion image I M2 ' combination is overlapping, generates combination image IM4 '.
In addition, as mentioned above, the synthetic portion 114 of image comprises CPU, has the graphic chips of the function described, temporarily stores the VRAM of a plurality of frames etc., based on the control of CPU, by graphic chips combination image IM4 ' is depicted on the VRAM as a frame.
In addition, as mentioned above, predesignate the priority when overlapping in each primary image, when overlapping a plurality of primary image, the image that priority is high is shown.Therefore, in primary image IM3, can not implement to be appointed as with the zone suitable above the part of the second measured value m2 does not need the zone and makes this not need the zone to become transparent treated yet, and only will be set at transparently smaller or equal to the suitable zone of the part of the first measured value m1, generate third part image I M3 '.
In step S115, shown in Fig. 6 (4), the synthetic portion 114 of image synthesizes by upward making up overlapping the 6th primary image IM6 and the 7th primary image IM7 at combination image IM4 ', generates meter diagram as IM10 on same frame.In addition, the synthetic portion 114 of image with the corresponding position of first measured value on, the 6th primary image IM6 of overlapping top graph picture as article one line chart.In addition, with the corresponding position of second measured value on, the 7th primary image IM7 of overlapping top graph picture as the second line chart.Then, transfer to step S106.
In step S106, the meter diagram that the synthetic portion 114 of image will generate in step S105 or S115 via display process portion 116, is presented at display device 140 as IM10.
More than, the display process of meter diagram picture has been described.When process ends, 114 standbies of the synthetic portion of image are up to the next updated time of measured value.When measured value obtaining section 113 receives the measured value of having upgraded, then begin this flow process once more, upgrade the meter diagram picture.Thus, measured value can show as the meter diagram picture in real time.
Fig. 7 represents the example of the picture 145 of display device 140.
Vehicle carried device 100 can show that a plurality of meter diagrams are as 300 (instrument A, B, C) based on multiple measured value.
More than, an embodiment of the invention are illustrated.
According to present embodiment, even be applied with the meter diagram picture of the complexity of decorations such as gradual change, also can just cut and make up primary image according to measured value, therefore can alleviate the processing burden.
More particularly, primary image DB220 storage: as a primary image (for example first primary image IM1) of the image that can represent first measured value and second measured value; With (for example can represent other primary images first measured value and second measured value, different with an above-mentioned primary image, the second primary image IM2 and the 4th primary image IM4), the synthetic portion 114 of image is according to first measured value and second measured value that are obtained by measured value obtaining section 113, be set at a part of zone of an above-mentioned primary image transparent, synthetic with above-mentioned other primary image, generate the image (for example, combination image IM4 ') that shows usefulness.Thus, for example, even notifying under the situation of measured value to the user by translucent bar chart, also need not to store the image of translucent bar chart monomer, can suppress the burden describing to handle, and to be easy to clear and definite, outward appearance preferable image, to the different measured value of user's notification categories.
Generally speaking, the data volume that can become the semi-transparent image of crossing state is relatively large, therefore with the image displaying of the gradual change of semi-transparent mistake at VRAM, and further with the image displaying of background image at VRAM, then can cause the bigger burden of describing to handle.Relative therewith, in the present embodiment, as primary image, prepare the image that on background, applies translucent gradual change in advance, so its size reduces correspondingly.Its result can expect to alleviate the processing burden when each primary image is depicted in VRAM.
This is not limited to apply the gradual change decoration of semi-transparent mistake or the situation of bar chart on background, also suit during the translucent bar chart that on being presented at background, carried out even color matching, also suit when in addition, on background, showing the bar chart of the bar chart of translucent gradual change and translucent even color matching.
The invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment.
For example, the order of the treatment step shown in the flow process of Fig. 4, the Displaying Meter image just is not particularly limited so long as finally can generate also.The order of step S102 and the processing of step S103 can be opposite.The processing sequence of step S112 and step S113 also can be opposite.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment,, the processing of step S102~S105 and step S112~S115 is separated carry out according to the judgement of step S101.Yet embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this situation.For example, also can be as following, carry out successively by the generation of the image I M1 ' of (1) first, (2) second or the processing that constitutes of the generation of the generation of third part image I M2,3 generation, (3) combination image IM4 ', (4) meter diagram picture.
(1) generation of first's image I M1 '
The synthetic portion 114 of image at first, obtains the first primary image IM1 from primary image DB220 after this flow process begins.Then, the synthetic portion 114 of image specifies a side's bigger in two measured values value from the first primary image IM1, obtains the image (that is, will not need the zone not to be set at and see through) in the zone suitable with the part that surpasses this value, constitutes the first primary image IM1 '.
(2) second or third part image I M2,3 generation
And then, under the bigger situation of first measured value, the synthetic portion 114 of image obtains the second primary image IM2 from primary image DB220, and obtain and first and second measured values between the suitable zone of part image (promptly, to not need the zone not to be set at sees through), constitute second portion image I M2 '.On the other hand, under the bigger situation of second measured value, obtain the 3rd primary image IM3 from primary image DB220, and obtain and first and second measured values between the suitable zone of part image (promptly, to not need the zone not to be set at sees through), constitute second portion image I M3 '.
(3) generation of combination image IM4 '
The synthetic portion 114 of image obtains the 4th primary image IM4 from primary image DB220.Then, the image I M1 ' of first is overlapping with the second portion image I M2 or the third part image I M that generate in above-mentioned (2), generate combination image IM4 '.
(4) generation of meter diagram picture
Under the situation of " first measured value>second measured value ", the synthetic portion 114 of image makes up the 5th primary image IM5 and the 8th primary image IM8 and combination image IM4 ' overlapping, is synthesized into meter diagram as IM10.On the other hand, under the situation of non-" first measured value>second measured value " that the 6th primary image IM6 and the 7th primary image IM7 combination is overlapping, synthesize and generate meter diagram as IM10.
By the processing of above (1)~(4), the meter diagram that vehicle carried device 100 can generate and demonstration is identical with the situation of the processing sequence shown in Fig. 4 is as 300.
In addition, consider during the short time in measured value show as the situation of identical value, the synthetic portion 114 of image also can look like the meter diagram that temporarily generates to be stored in the memory storage 130.Then, when when measured value obtaining section 113 obtains measured value, judge the meter diagram picture of whether having stored about the measured value consistent with this measured value (being all measured values under a plurality of situations), under the situation of storage, then need not regenerate image, look like to be used for to show but read the meter diagram of being stored.But, in order to reduce the consumption of memory capacity, surpassing under the situation of specified volume, can be successively from the earliest image, perhaps from generating constantly through after the stipulated time meter diagram picture that elimination is stored.
Vehicle carried device of the present invention can be applicable in the various device of vehicle mounted.For example, can constitute with the navigation device for vehicle one.
